Hello,

Nice to see you on our lists Christophe!

Joe, you mean *you* are currently upstreaming files? Good initiative, I think 
you've ever told me for KDE but I didn't remember :S.

You're welcome! Everybody here does his/her best, this is the essence of free 
(libre) software ;). Note that you can find ideas for introducing DDL to 
upstream projects in our template promotion article [1] and in the French 
Wikipedia article [2].

Please report us about upstream translation policies that would need us to 
recheck our translations and write rules or recommendations on our website.

I think you'll need a tool to monitor the Transifex activity too. Try to 
investigate Transifex tools and come back to me (us) if none does what you 
need. I usually find their online reporting tools quite buggy, missing most of 
translation updates!

Yes, there are languages for which we'll bring few improvements compared to 
their latest code, and some other ones which will bring a lot. Note that even 
if the latest upstream application version is far ahead from our one, bringing 
our translations could still bring strong improvement because many messages are 
common between different versions of an application. This should typically be 
the case languages that are poorly translated upstream but well translated in 
our project.

Cheers,
JM.
